The podcast is back for a very special two-part bonus episode series dedicated to the subject of carbs and IBS. Which also just so happens to be the subject of my new cookbook!

Since the SIBO Made Simple book came out, one big set of questions I keep getting asked from SIBO Amigos and members of the Hashi Posse, along with other followers on Instagram, was about how carbs can be part of a balanced diet with gut issues.

Carbs are a huge source of stress and confusion. People get conflicting advice from doctors. Some say it’s dangerous for women to be super low carb, others say you can’t heal the gut without taking out all grains. And still others believe that removing all carbs and staying on the low FODMAP diet for too long is detrimental to the long-term health of your microbiome.

I’m here to breakdown the research and settle the debate once and for all. In this episode, I’ll be explaining the role of carbohydrates in our digestive process and their impact on metabolic health. Then we will talk about how our carb “tolerance” is very much dependent on the health of our gut.

Stay tuned for the next episode, which will include lots of practical advice on how to choose your own carb adventure with IBS.
